Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine It’s normal for the transmission fluid temperature to
vary, depending on the type of driving you do and
weather conditions. If you drive on long grades on a hot
day, the transmission fluid temperature will be higher
than normal driving on a cold day. If you drive your
Corvette at high speeds with a lot of stop-and-go or fast
accelerations, your transmission fluid temperature may
also be higher.
If the transmission fluid exceeds
280°F (138 “C), the
CHECK GAUGES light will come on and HI
AUTO
will be displayed next to the transmission fluid
temperature when you toggle through the GAUGES
button. You should move the shift lever to DRIVE (D)
and continue driving at a slower, constant speed.
Monitor the transmission fluid temperature and allow
it
to cool to 180°F (82°C) to 200°F (93°C). Then, you
should check the transmission fluid level for a low fill or
overfill condition and bring your Corvette in for service
as soon as possible (see “Automatic Transmission Fluid”
in the Index). Also, check the engine coolant
temperature. If it’s too hot, see “Cooling System” in the
Index.
Check Gauges Light
This red light will come on
briefly when you are
starting the engine. If the
light comes on and stays on
while
you are driving, check
your gauges to see if they
are
in the warning areas.
This light can come
on for:
0 high engine oil temperature or low oil pressure
high coolant temperature
high or low battery voltage
0 low fuel level
0 high automatic transmission oil temperature

Sunload:
This sensor is on top of the instrument panel.
When the inside temperature
is increased by sunlight,
the system will lower the inside temperature up to
5°F
(3 “C) below the setting on the display.
Outside Temperature: This sensor is on the right side
of the upper radiator support in the grille opening. This
is what you usually see on the display.
If the outside temperature goes up, the displayed
temperature will not change until:
a Vehicle speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h) for at least
0 Vehicle speed is above 45 mph (72 km/h) for
This delay helps prevent a false reading. If vehicle speed
remains above
25 mph (40 km/h) or the temperature
goes down, the display is updated immediately.
If your vehicle has been off for more than three hours,
the current outside temperature will be stored in the
system when you start the vehicle.
Inside temperature: This sensor is in the center air
outlet
on the passenger side.
If you block or cover either interior sensor, the system
will give a false reading.
3 minutes, or
1 1/2 minutes.
Automatic Control
The system will adjust to maintain the temperature you

keep you comfortable with the least amount of noise.
Press the arrows on the TEMP SET switch’to set a
comfortable temperature. Then press AUTO
and the fan
speed will adjust automatically unless you press the
arrows on the switch.
Manual Heating
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it.
Press the arrows on the TEMP SET switch to set a
comfortable temperature. Then press HEATER and, if
you don’t like the automatic setting, press the arrows on
the fan speed switch.
In AUTO FAN on cold days, the
fan will stay off until the coolant warms up enough to
heat your vehicle.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater and you use
it in cold weather,
0 OF (- 18 O C) or lower, your heating
system can provide heat more quickly because the
engine coolant is already warmed. See “Engine Coolant
Heater” in the Index.
